If you love maduro cigars and you also fancy a couple of fingers of bourbon, then this latest entry by Nick Perdomo is going to make you think you died and went to heaven. Perdomo Habano Bourbon Barrel-Aged Maduro cigars begin with a Nicaraguan maduro capa that has been aged for six long years before being stored in a bourbon barrel for more than a year, to inbue the leaf with the warm flavor of whiskey. That wrapper is wound around a long-filler blend of Cuban-seed tobaccos from Esteli, Jalapa and Condega. You'll get a medium to full-bodied experience with notes of espresso and cocoa, along with wood and smooth spice, with the caramelly tang of bourbon on the finish. Be prepared for flavor unlike anything you've had before.
Outstanding stick. Medium to my taste. Flavorfull, complex, subtle hint of sweetness. This is not an infused cigar rather secondarily aged in old bourbon barrels. Important and big difference. The bourbon barrel aging adds subtleties of complexity to a true cigar, not in your face sweetness like an infused cigar does for someone who does not like real cigars. Added to my regular rotation. Highly recommended.
